Stinky Dead Whale on Back Shore

stinky whale

While walking the back shore a couple of days ago, I encountered a really bad smell just before Land’s End Lane.  I just had to investigate what it was, and found this small dead whale on the rocks.  He’s been there a while.  I couldn’t help but wonder if he might have gotten stranded around the time Martin Del Vecchio got that great right whale video, and maybe that whale was trying to help out this youngster who was in trouble caught up on the rocks.   We’ll never know, but it was sad to see it.

    1. I visited it once. I don’t think I would go back again, but I’m not a kid. Did they see it when it was freshly deceased? Was it a baby? What is there looks small.
